They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Lin Han was getting up when Xu Hui grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Um... could you please ask Goddess Yuli to write some blessings for me? It would make me feel so empowered!"

Xu Hui stared wide-eyed at him and said emotionally.

"Ok."

Lin Han arrived at the door of Class 10 and caught a girl in the corridor.

"Excuse me, could you please call Yan Yuli, my senior?" Lin Han asked with a smile.

......

A short while later, Yan Yuli came out.

"It's rare for you to take the initiative to find me at school," Yan Yuli said, arms crossed. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you for an autographed photo. Tomorrow is the college entrance exam, so I wanted to write some blessings on it as well," Lin Han said, getting straight to the point.

Hearing this, Yan Yuli's face flushed slightly.

"Are you... are you serious?"

058. After all, you are Lin Han.

"It doesn't need to be too long, just a blessing and a signature or something," Lin Han said.

"But don't you not have to take the college entrance exam?" Yan Yuli asked.

"Uh."

At this moment, Lin Han's not-so-high emotional intelligence was working at lightning speed.

If he says he asked on behalf of Xu Hui, and since Xu Hui and Yan Yuli have no connection, Yan Yuli might not be too happy, and Lin Han might even owe him a favor.

If he didn't ask, given his friendship with Yan Yuli, getting an autographed photo shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, autographed photos are all the same for celebrities; they're mass-produced items. There's really no need to specify who the photo is for when asking about it.

"Once the test papers are released, I'll do the questions with you guys. I really want to experience the atmosphere of the college entrance exam."

Yan Yuli stared intently at Lin Han with her bright blue eyes. After a long while, the corners of the girl's mouth turned up slightly.

What a lame excuse!

They're just making excuses to get my autograph!

Yan Yuli felt pleased, thinking to herself that Lin Han was too dishonest, but she didn't show it on her face.

She feigned composure and said, "If I give you an autographed photo, shouldn't you give me something in return?"

"what?"

Lin Han was shocked. So, even if he came to ask, he had to repay a favor?

I don't know if I overestimated my importance as a friend, or underestimated this senior's desire to mess with me!

"What's wrong? You didn't attend my offline events or buy any of my merchandise, yet you want a signed photo for free?" Yan Yuli tilted her head, puzzled.

"Alright," Lin Han had no choice but to compromise. "Then what do you want?"

“Write me a song, one that you’ll sing at your concert.” Yan Yuli raised her eyebrows. “But since it’s your concert, I can’t steal your thunder. So write a song that we can sing together.”

One song in exchange for an autographed photo—this senior student has a shrewd business!

Lin Han felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he needed Yan Yuli's help.

"Okay," Lin Han said.

Anyway, even if Yan Yuli hadn't asked, he had already decided to sing a few new songs at the concert anyway; now it's just a matter of adding a duet.

"Okay, come pick it up next class," Yan Yuli said with a smile.

After Lin Han left, Yan Yuli returned to her seat and pulled out a photo of herself from a compartment in her backpack.

This photo was taken during the filming of a Peach commercial. In the photo, Yan Yuli is wearing a blue sailor uniform and has a bright smile on her face. She looks like a vibrant and beautiful young girl.

Many photos were taken at the time, but only one was selected as the spokesperson photo. Yan Yuli also liked the other photos, so she kept them.

Perhaps it's because this photo holds special significance for Yan Yuli.

Yan Yuli took out a ballpoint pen and skillfully signed her name on the front of the photo, then wrote a blessing on the back.

Thinking of Lin Han's silly look when he wanted an autograph but was too embarrassed, Yan Yuli couldn't help but smile.

"Let me give you a taste of sweetness, you silly goose~"

......

Afterwards, Lin Han came to collect the autographed photo. Yan Yuli put the autographed photo in an envelope and told Lin Han not to open it in a crowded place.

"Okay," Lin Han replied casually.

Back in the classroom, Lin Han handed the envelope to Xu Hui.

Xu Hui excitedly tried to open it, but Lin Han stopped him, saying, "Yu Li said to look at it when you're alone."

"What?"

"I guess they're afraid fans will scream with excitement if they see autographed photos like this?" Lin Han offered a somewhat far-fetched reason, but there was no other reasonable explanation.

"I'll just take one look, just one look!"

Xu Hui couldn't resist opening the envelope and peeking inside. He saw Yan Yuli's photo and signature.

"Wuhu!!!" Xu Hui laughed like a pig and stuffed the autographed photo back in.

This good mood accompanied Xu Hui for the entire day.

On the last day before the college entrance examination, Xu Hui maintained an excellent state of mind and continued to study. Whenever he touched the envelope in his pocket, he felt refreshed and full of energy!

In the evening, Xu Hui returned to his bedroom and continued to study.

At this moment, he finally pulled out the autographed photo without any hesitation and admired Yan Yuli's sailor uniform repeatedly under the dim light of the desk lamp.

"Hehe...my goddess Yuli..." Xu Hui was mesmerized, every pore on his body was trembling!

Just then, he suddenly thought of something.

This sailor uniform looks familiar. It seems like it's the one worn in the Peach commercial.

Thinking of the Peach commercial brings back countless unpleasant memories, such as Lin Han and Yan Yuli studying late into the night.

Xu Hui quickly shook his head. How could he think about that!

My good brother Lin Han got me an autographed photo of Sister Yu Li. I should just enjoy it and not think about doing anything bad for my brother!

He turned the photo over and saw the message of blessing—

"Good luck on the college entrance exam! I believe these questions won't be a problem for you. Yuli-neechan believes in you..."

Calling herself "Sister Yuli" is so cute! Xu Hui grinned foolishly again.

"I know you've been troubled by a lot lately. Once everything's over, I'll give you a surprise. You can look forward to it..."

Xu Hui's smile practically stretched to the back of his head! He continued reading:

"I think no matter how many troubles you have, they can't defeat you. After all, you are Lin Han. You can always create miracles, just like when we first met..."

Xu Hui's expression froze.

He silently put down the photo, his face darkening.

Three seconds later, a wail of sobbing and wailing came from the bedroom.

"Holy crap!!!"

......

June 7th is the day of the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).

Countless students stepped onto the high school ground under the watchful eyes of their families and teachers.

It is said that on that day, even the school bus played "The Lone Warrior".

High school seniors across the country have begun their battle!

Lin Han, also a senior high school student, has his own other battle to fight.

He posted a new Weibo post, saying that three new songs will be performed for the first time at the concert.

This statement immediately caused a frenzy among countless netizens. To hear three of Orange Jam's new songs at once was something they never dared to dream of!

However, although the Weibo post was published, Lin Han himself had not yet decided which three poems to write.

First is the new song he sang with Yan Yuli, which is also the most important one.

This is a bombshell, the song Lin Han plans to use to bring the concert to its climax, so it can't be taken lightly.

Since he was determined to take it 100% seriously, Lin Han decided to stay true to his original aspirations and ultimately chose Jay Chou at the most crucial moment.

The answer is then obvious.

If Lin Han can't even copy homework, then he's wasted his time as a transmigrator.

Back then, Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai's divine duet at the concert still moves people to this day!

Lin Han quickly wrote down the song's title—"Give Me a Song's Time"!

059. Final Preparations

The song for the chorus was written, but two other new songs stumped Lin Han.

If we look at it from the perspective of completing the reward tasks and stage effects released by the system, Lin Han aims to maximize the traffic and hype in one song. In the other, he plans to unleash his ultimate skill, pushing the boundaries of performance to the limit.

Since it's the "trump card" from the goddess of love songs, Orange Jam, it must be a love song.

What kind of love song could create another climax at Orange Jam's concert, which is filled with all sorts of amazing love songs?

Lin Han didn't know either.

However, Lin Han felt that if stability was the goal, then the person qualified for this position had to be someone who had stood the test of time, someone whose songs, despite being decades old, remained popular and were sung by people all over the world!

Even though it's just a drop in the ocean, and many years have passed, with audiences changing one after another and the public's aesthetic tastes undergoing tremendous changes, this love song will never be out of style!

Coincidentally, Lin Han had a particular skill that met these requirements.

He wrote the title of the song – "Love Like a Tide".

The value of this song was already self-evident in its previous life. As a song that was released 29 years ago, it still has a high degree of popularity and can be called one of the most classic love songs!

This is a song that looks simple, but is actually quite difficult to sing.

When Jeff Chang sang this song back then, it was absolutely a sensation. Countless people praised his gentle and beautiful voice! It has very high requirements for timbre. If your voice is not pleasant enough, even if you have good singing skills, you will not be able to sing that feeling.

However, it also demands a high level of singing skill. The very first line is very high-pitched, and the subsequent high notes are like a rollercoaster ride. You really need to have some skill to do it.

It can be said that to sing this song well, a clear and beautiful tone and an extremely exaggerated ability to hit high notes are both indispensable.

Fortunately, Lin Han possesses both of these factors.

Therefore, Lin Han has always wanted to give it a try. This time, let's use "Love Like a Tide" as the trump card for the whole concert!

Lin Han is in a real bind when it comes to his last new song that's designed to generate hype and backlash.

He can come up with all sorts of tricks to torment the audience, but no matter how you calculate it, it seems difficult to earn 30,000 Collapse Index points.

Lin Han could only put it aside for the time being. Maybe one day a flash of inspiration would come, and he would know what to sing.

Anyway, for Lin Han, it wouldn't matter if he thought about it at the concert; it's just that he didn't report it to the company.

However, Lin Han is now enjoying more and more freedom at Pop Media. In any case, if he really causes any trouble, his agent, Ms. Hu Yan, will take care of it.

Lin Han didn't have any free time in the following days either.

Every day after the college entrance examination ended and the questions were leaked online, he would immediately pick up a pen and paper and try to write them down.

He really wrote it!

Lin Han felt that he couldn't waste the results of his three years of hard work studying like a dog; he had to test them!

The next day, Hu Yan called Lin Han. There were only a few days left before the concert, and she needed to go to the venue for a rehearsal. Lin Han would decide the time.

"Then let's do it tomorrow night," Lin Han said.

"Didn't you just finish your college entrance exam tomorrow? Shouldn't you relax a bit?"

"Who told you I took the college entrance exam?"
